My Sincere condolences to the entire Albertson family. I was honored to take Uncle Bennie for a little trip \ our last adventure together, up to North Carolina back in Sept last year and boy did He enjoy himself as did I. Although I was not kin to him, he sure treated me like I was. This exact same date on Aug 5th 1994 We set out to attend the very 1st Nascar race held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and what was suppose to be a race weekend turned into a trip of a lifetime. We attended many races together and went to so many yard sales I can not put a number on either, and I will always remember how excited He would be going to each and every yard sales.. He truly was and will always be the Yard Sale KING.. If anyone would like to reflect \ reminisce and honor this man at anytime, feel free to contact me. Last but not least, words can not express just how grateful I am that our paths crossed & I hope and pray they cross again.. Robert
Good neighbor, going to miss him an alva. Peace be with them.
